Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh recently went viral after he lambasted a troll on X (formerly known as Twitter). A social media user posted a clip of ace Pakistan batter Babar Azam avoiding an interview from one of Pakistan’s matches from the ODI World Cup 2024 in India and heading straight to the pavilion. 

Posting the clip on X, the user revealed that Babar was avoiding and ignoring former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan and had rejected him for the interview. “When @IrfanPathan begs Babar Azam for Interview and he refused,” the user captioned the post. 

Seeing the video, Harbhajan Singh came forward and scrutinized the post, stating that the interviewer in the clip was not Pathan. He also stated that people have trouble even seeing if it’s the right person in the clip. 

“Where is @IrfanPathan in this video ?? Bolne ki tameez to aap logo ko pehle hi nahi thi. Ab aankho se dikhna bi bandh ho gya kya ?  Waise bi agar angreji mai swal pooch liya to pange pad jayenge. (You guys did not know the way to properly talk, now on the top of that, you have the inability to see as well. If they had asked a question in English, you would have had problems.)” Harbhajan Singh tweeted. 

I will tell you the real problem: Harbhajan Singh

In a similar incident, Harbhajan Singh lambasted another Pakistan journalist on X. The user tried to target the former cricketer for his stance over India’s participation in the Champion Trophy 2025. Recently, the 44-year-old came forward and supported the BCCI in not wanting to send the Indian team over to Pakistan for the tournament. 

However, as the user shared a scorecard of Harbhajan getting hit for four sixes by Shahid Afridi during India’s tour to Pakistan in 2006, the former cricketer did not take the matter lightly. 

“No not for this . Cricket Mai Jeet har lagi rehti hai. I will tell u the real problem is this . Check the photo . Now get the F out of here . F ka Matlab samaj aa gya hoga ya samjau? F means ur name . Plz don’t think what u r thinking th meaning of F. You know what I mean, peace,” Harbhajan wrote in the caption on X.
